And there I was, laughing and enjoying with my newfound friends, when, a warning spark crossed my mind:

I had sent Seymour to the past, where there is still a younger version of me! He could go and release his vengeful fury
upon... me!

" Well, sorry, girls, but I have to go to do something important! See ya! " I stood quickly and teletransported to the
Earth too.

When I arrived to Seymour's room. ( Technically it still wasn't his. ) He had already departed. Damn! I exited the
house, which was still vacant, and looked to all sides in the block. Where he could have gone?! To my house. Where
else? Darn it! And the VR doesn't work here...! Wait... The magic will?! I tried a lightning between my hands...
it works!

I cast the Lightfeet an Muscle Toner spells, and all the pedestrians and drivers on my way got surprised and scared
of the blurring shadow that were passing by among them. Damn. I'll rather have used the teleport spell, but I still
couldn't cast that one.

Seymour arrived to my home and ringed the bell. I opened the door, wearing a cap and a casual outfit. " Hello, buddy!
How're you doing? " I did our traditional nerd salutation, which he mirrored with weariness. " What's happening buddy?
There's something wrong? "

" No, not at all. "

" Come on! I challenge you to another match of 007 Goldeneye! You're not gonna win a single one this time! " I told him
with all the joviality I could. I expect him to no suspect, as my younger self is snoring in my old room.

As soon as Seymour entered the house and I closed the door, I cast a sleeping spell on him.

" Now, what do I do with you? " I rubbed the back of my head.

I thought for a while, but I came out with no worthy plan.

Wait. If the VR googles only displaces between dimensions, if I go to Equestria I'll appear on the Everfree, then, from
there I can go back to Earth and appear on Seymour's basement again, and I'll have enough time to figure something out.
I smirked, relieved, and put my plan to work.

I grabbed sleeping Seymour, activated the VR and... we appeared on the very center of Canterlot Castle, almost face to
face with a frightened to death Cadance, as Celestia was still at Fillydelphia.

I pushed my VR googles again, and it was dead. I opened my eyes wide, scared:

" Oh, crap... "

It was nightfall, and Twilight was arriving to her library house. She better have a good sleeping night, as the next
day she'll be busy repairing all the damage caused by the parasprites in town. She was deep in that thoughts, when
Spike ran like crazy to her:

" Twilight, Twilight! You have an urgent message from Princess Luna! You have to go to Canterlot at once! "

" What?! What's happening?! " Riposted Twilight, as a carriage landed near her.

" A monkey thing appeared at Canterlot Castle, and tried to kill Cadance! "

" What?! A monkey thing you said?!! "

I, riding a surfing board"shaped cloud, was being aerial pursued by a platoon of pegasi, which were attacking me by
launching spears, something that my magic shielding could handle pretty well. The actual problem started when some of
them flew higher and began to build tiny black clouds, and to launch lightnings to me. Damn! How do I lose them without
harming them?! Besides, if they caught me, they'll put me some magic dampening shit, and that'll be it.

I had to leave Seymour behind. He was uncounscious, anyway. And ponies are nice, they're not going to kill him or
anything like that. ( Even with a part of me wishing to. )

A rain of lightnings started to fell before me. I was able to avoid most of them, but some hit me flat, hurting like
hell.

" Damn! What a moment to this VR shit to die! " I cursed. " I should had took Seymour's one instead of crushing it!
What a stupidity! "

At that moment, another lightning stroke me. That was it. I'm gonna leave those damned ponies like plucked chicken. I
turned, casting a combat magic, ready to retaliate...

Twilight arrives at Canterlot Castle, and Luna and Cadance were waiting for her.

" Cadance, Cadance! Are you alright?! Aren't you hurt?! " Twilight ran to her and they both hugged.

" I'm fine, I'm fine, Twilight. Look. Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake, clap your hooves and do a little shake. Ha
ha ha ha! " They both salutated and laughed. " See? I'm just a bit nervous yet. That monkey things appeared from nowhere
before me! I thought it was the end! " She mourned, putting both forelegs over her chest and shaking her head, scared.
" But, luckily, our brave Shining Armor cast one away, and captured the other! " She explained, with a long and romantic
sigh of relief.

" What?! There were two of them? " Asked Twilight, surprised.

At that moment, a guard arrived galloping:

" Your Highness, the prisoner has awaken! "

" Good, bring him here for interrogation! " Ordered Luna.

A chained and magic dampened Seymour was taken to the Princesses' presence.

" Prisoner, what are you, and why did you entered the royal palace without permission?!! Answer at once!! " Luna almost
vociferated.

Seymour raised his head, picturing a maniacal smile:

" We are... pony eaters...! "

A general horrified gasp could be heard in the hall.

" And we come here to conquer your pathetic kingdom. Yes... Because we like roasted ponies, just from the oven,
crunching... stewed... tasty... " He raised his chained hands to his mouth and started to mimic like he was eating. "
Wharf, wharf, wharf, wharf. " He made a chewing"like sound.

The panic had taken over most ponies, and Princess Cadance was hyperventilating, eyes quivering on fear, with a hoof
in her chest, about to faint.

" Yes. " Seymour continued scaring them. " He'll wait to night to come, and will enter your houses to steal your foals,
and enjoy himself in a slaughtering... "

" Silence! That's enough! " Screamed Luna. " Tell us were he's hiding! Now!! "

" Why don't you ask to your little traitor over there? " Seymour pointed Twilight. " She was plotting with him to
overthrown Celestia and you, so they can have their feast of blood... "

" Shut up, jerk! You was the one trying to kill us all! " Twilight angrily protested.

" Prisoner! No more lies! Tell us the truth! " Ordered Luna again.

" It's the truth! " Seymour replied, smirking. " Why you don't scan my dreams, so you can see it by yourself? "

Luna got a bit surprised. She hesitated for a while, but finally she cast a sleeping spell on Seymour, closed her eyes
and focused. Suddenly, she startled back with a frightened gasp, raising her forelegs, trembling and sweating, eyes
like dishes and deep breathing. Then, she looked to Twilight:

" Captain, arrest her! " She pointed a hoof to the lavender unicorn.

Now it was Twilight who was about to faint.

Another general scared gasp was heared.

" Your highness, wait! This must be some kind of trick! You can't believe what that creature...! " Shining Armor shouted
in defence of his little sister.

" Silence, Captain! The dreams don't lie! And what I've seen is beyond all forgiveness! Carry on my order, at once! "
Luna interrupted him aloud, with an angry stance.

" Yes... your highness... " Shining Armor reluctantly agreed, and turned to Twilight. " I'm sorry Twi. Guards, take her
away... "

" No! Big brother! Princess Luna! He's lying! No! " Pleaded Twilight as the guards dragged her away.

" I... can't... take it... anymore... " Said Cadance meekly and fainted, but Shining Armor hold her before she hits the
floor...
